Limits
  • volume-quota (binding) Google Maps: first 500 businesses a month free, then USD 3 per 1,000 to 100k, then USD 1 per 1,000 source
  • volume-quota (binding) Google Search: first 10 searches (pages) a month free, then USD 5 per 1,000 source
  • volume-quota (binding) Universal AI Scraper: first 5 pages a month free, then USD 9 per 1,000 pages to 5k, then USD 7 per 1,000 source
  • write-gated a payment method is required before the first use; a new account may be asked to deposit USD 10 of credits source
  • request-rate API average about 20 queries a second, varying by service and parameters source
  • retention-clamped an API response is kept 4 hours after the request completes source
  • retention-clamped a web-app task result file stays downloadable on the Tasks page for 30 days; the download link then expires source
Bindingvolume-quota the free allowance is a few hundred records per service a month (5 pages for the universal scraper); past it every record is billed, so the monthly free tier runs out long before the API rate does
Identitycard the sign-up page offers a Google sign-in, or an email form confirmed by a verification email (reported), and shows an hCaptcha check; the terms require a payment method before the first use, and the pricing explainer lists two ways to pay: prepaid credits, or a connected credit card billed automatically past the free tier, with credits added by credit card, PayPal or other methods; staff state a new account, or API use, may be asked to deposit USD 10 of credits, especially after several accounts from one email or IP or with a disposable email, and that support can lift a check raised by mistake; a marketing page states no credit card is required to start, which the terms contradict; whether a new account runs its Free Tier with neither a payment method nor a deposit is unverified: behind a sign-up
Egressnot applicable: result files and API responses
Per-object capnot applicable: billed per returned record
Retentiona web-app task result file stays downloadable on the Tasks page for 30 days, after which its download link expires; an API response is available for 4 hours after the request completes; the free allowance resets every 30 days and does not accumulate (30 days)
Interfacerest a REST API authenticated by an X-API-KEY header (reference at app.outscraper.cloud/api-docs), about 20 queries a second on average; a format parameter (csv, json, parquet) turns a request into an asynchronous web-app task; the same services run from the web app with no code
Toolingthe web app at app.outscraper.com; the REST API; the outscraper-python SDK on GitHub
Composes withPrebuilt Google Maps, reviews, search and contact scrapers return structured records with no selector work; for arbitrary pages the Universal AI Scraper's free tier is 5 pages a month, so a general page reader carries that load
Reliabilityno reliability event recorded; a new account, or several accounts from one email or IP, may be held until a USD 10 credit deposit
NotesConfirmed as a no-code scraper service with a free tier, though the free tier sits behind a payment method. Free runs: no run or task count is stated; the allowance is per service per month (500 Google Maps businesses, 500 reviews, 10 Google searches, 5 universal-scraper pages, and others). Pages per run: no per-run cap is stated; the universal scraper's free tier is 5 pages a month in total. Export formats: CSV, Excel, Parquet and JSON for Google Maps; CSV and XLSX for most other services; csv, json or parquet from the API. Cheapest paid step: USD 3 per 1,000 Google Maps records.
Evidence notedocumented the allowances, prices and formats are read from Outscraper's pricing, product and API pages; the email sign-up step is a third-party report
